Most Annoying Things When Writing a Story

Seiran
I've experienced most of these problems when writing stories and these problems are just plain annoying when some of these things on list happen to me.

The Top Ten

1Writer's Block

Try going back and rereading what you had. If something odd happened back there, that's the reason you may be stuck. If that doesn't work, trial and error is an option. Still stuck? Look to the characters! - Cyri

I'm suffering from writers block and I don't know what to do! WHen I ask for help everyone says 'make a character die' but a character just died and I like the characters I created. PLEASE. HELP. ME. - AnonymousChick

Here are a few tricks from a young writer:

1) Think of it like a road with many paths branching off. Try one path, and if you don't like it, turn back and try another. You'll find the way eventually.

2) Sometimes, it's not what YOU want. It's what the characters want. Just look to them. - Cyri

My writer's block lasts days, sometimes weeks. I love to write, but I always get writer's block in the middle of a story, and it's really frustrating. - Elric-san

If you struggle with lack of inspiration or imagination, you only need to start looking at life differently. - PetSounds

There is never a lack of inspiration. It's literally everywhere! You just have to look for it. - Britgirl

I never run out of imagination when it comes to horror stories - bobbythebrony

I once wrote a story based on the Daleks of Doctor Who. And their war with the movellans. It's basically an action story with hardly any dialogue, but it was written a good five or six years ago at least. Lost it now. - IronSabbathPriest

3Starting over when you (or someone) don't like the storyline

This happened to me a few times and it's always tiring whenever I do that. - Seiran
